Maybe HDs (hard drives) are cooking Power Supply???
To solve annoying Windows errors, you might want to try a Windows Registry Check. In most cases, optimizing the Windows registry will speed up your Windows.
Could you - or anyone - please tell me if there's a way that I can check out my HDs with an ohm meter or ?? so I don't have to risk blowing the 12v rail on another PSU?
An HDD consume only 10 -15w,not more.An GPU needs more power.More info about your system please.
Thank you! But I don't know how to figure watts or have a meter to read that. I do have a simple ohm-meter.. and I think I can read that. System hardware P3 Asus mobo. ;
No tools nessecary.You can calulate an Hdd with 15 W and an CPU like yours with 40 W,that ist very much.But nomally it do not need an PSU with more than 300 W. Or have you more than ond HDD and than with SCSI interface? If ich can get the whole system,than ich can caluculate the PSU for you ig you not able to understand german.
Thank you! My German is even worse than my Spanish . I don't have any scuzzies, no raid arrangements - I don't think total watt calculation is what I need - I was hoping for a way to test my HDs to see if one of them caused the PSU to fail because of a problem with the HD. I know very little about electrical stuff but I was wondering if there was a way to test for a short - or something - with my ohm-meter. Is that possible?
